Where can you find Accurate Numbers?

Is there a place that has accurate numbers concerning deaths? Or is it simply a guesstimate and no numbers are actually accurate?

Yep lemondrop is spot on elader, Fox deffo has the best numbers mate, the lower, the better I say.

Nobody has accurate infection numbers. Impossible, just about. Death toll is even questionable. What happens when a person with heart and kidney disease dies while he has the virus? Well, now, they have even changed that. It is now counted as a CV death. It wasn't before.

And it can vary from country to country so their figures cannot be counted together. Not accurately, anyway

For what it's worth, I look at this site. You can look at the world, individual countries, etc.
I don't know if it's any more accurate than other places, and as you can see not every place has updated regularly.

My state in the US only updates once a day, but I think others are more frequent.

Total at April 1st 2137

That was up to April 1st, we are now one week later and yesterday's deaths here were 938. You're the maths teacher, so do some on that curve.

Total annual UK deaths from flu in the UK are around 17,000 mostly over the six month flu season. That is an average of 93 a day over the 6 months.
Yesterday nearly 1000 people died and it's climbing.

Is it sinking in yet?

That site has been deemed unreliable by No1.

I never said that.

I said there are differences between its count and the IMHE one so that you can't compare its numbers to the latter's projection.

The ones I just posted...?

What deaths? It's all just a Democrat hoax, didn't you hear? Trump's new press secretary promised that Covid-19 won't reach the U.S.

I guess right now I'd trust the WM site more because the IMHE one made large unexplained adjustments to the weekend US death tolls. But still the WM can't be compared to the IMHE projection and all numbers are probably significant undercounts.

So is it that the model is wrong? Why trust the model if you do not trust their numbers?

You seem to be ignoring me...why is that?
